Back in 2012, some video game fans were left unsatisfied with Mass Effect 3’s poor ending, even if it was actually a solid game overall and a great final entry to the much-loved Mass Effect trilogy. And it’s clear that the original Mass Effect game and its sequels are some of the best sci-fi RPGs ever made, while also featuring some truly great third-person shooting action.

But it’s not like earlier Mass Effect games did not offer a big game world to explore, as the likes of Mass Effect 2 let players visit many alien worlds and also take part in quite a few side quests throughout the game, but it seems Andromeda will offer more in terms of breadth and scope than earlier Mass Effect games.

The thing is, will Mass Effect Andromeda offer players an even bigger adventure than Bioware’s 2014 hit Dragon Age: Inquisition did? That game was massive in terms of the size of its game world, featuring many huge areas to explore and loads of content to enjoy. It was named Game of the Year by most video game outlets, even if Inquisition did have some defects like its repetitive side quests and the fact that it forced players to grind for hours in order to advance in the main quest.

Dragon Age: Inquisition was still a great experience though, and if Bioware can offer an even bigger game with Mass Effect Andromeda while also dealing with that game’s issues by delivering better side quests and activities in its sci-fi universe, then players will surely be in for a treat when Andromeda hits the shelves next year.
